Franz Schubert remains one of the most beloved and prolific composers in the Western canon. His productivity is all the more amazing, considering he lived to be only thirty-one: A compulsive composer, he wrote more than fifteen-hundred works during the last sixteen years of his life. This series will feature Schubert’s greatest music for string chamber ensemble. Starting with his Quartet No. 8—composed when he was sixteen years old—the series will move through Schubert’s last five quartets and will conclude with his magisterial Quintet in C Major, completed just two months before his death.
